| ncRNA Symbol: | MAF1 | | Full Name: | MAF1 homolog, negative regulator of RNA polymerase III | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | - | | Chromosome: | chr8 | | Strand: | + | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 144104499 | End Site(bp): | 144107611 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene encodes a protein that is similar to Maf1, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein highly conserved in eukaryotic cells. Yeast Maf1 is a negative effector of RNA polymerase III (Pol III). It responds to changes in the cellular environment and represses pol III transcription. Biochemical studies identified the initiation factor TFIIIB as a target for Maf1-dependent repression. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] | | External Links: | |
